spit’ (...) would have been the original meaning of 'Nesos' (...) Franz Bopp (...) approached the Greek word [Nesos] to Sanskrit 'nasa' and Latin 'nasus' [...]" [10]. In fact, Bopp wrote that: "Perhaps the Greek word ‘Nesos’ means 'nose' and 'cape'" [11]. Finally, another proof that "Nesos" can have relations with the concept of "hump" and even "mountain" is emphasized by observations in "Classics and Oriental Studies", in which, through a series of examples between "plain" and "mountain", one concludes that "Nesos-Nasos reveals the inner meaning of 'mountain', and in this specific case of a 'peopled mountain'" [12]. In conclusion, the etymology of “Naso” is not properly "island", as it is commonly repeated, but simply "nose", or "hump" and therefore the significance of the city would be what the name says.
